I was so embarrassed to go to Labor and Delivery without any labor symptoms, but the phone nurse said that I must go since I am so far along. I had to go because of PUPPS; it's a horrible pregnancy rash that is caused because I'm allergic to fetal DNA. It began on my stomach, which was rough, but bearable. After a week of scratching my belly, it spread to my legs, arms, feet, and hands. Sadly, the only thing that can be done for it is Benadryl and hydrocortisone cream.
We went to Labor and Delivery though because it was unbearable on my legs. I was ready to chop my legs off at the knee on Saturday. I was admitted and released from the hospital in 5 minutes. The doctor looked at my belly, told me to stop scratching, wrote me a prescription for a stronger cream, and told me that he would induce me in a few weeks. Thanks...
Now, I just sit around and try not to itch. The doctor told me to knock myself out with Benadryl when I was home. This is definitely not how I imagined the last few weeks of my pregnancy. I'm so afraid of being induced. When I try to walk to get her out, the PUPPS flare up and cause me to miserable. I have tried eating The Beacon and spicy food. Maybe the food combination with the current full moon will help naturally induce me!
